How to trap crickets?

I need them for my lizard.
Answers:
look behind soda machines and shaded areas at dusk, use your hands =) and put them in a bottle or some thing. long grass, by water...
I don't know how to trap crickets, but I catch grasshoppers al summer for my bearded dragon. I think they have a lot more to them than the crickets you buy at the pet store too. You just have to be quick and stealthy. It's fun catching them. The big ones can fly, so go after smaller ones and tire them out if you have to.
safer to buy them , no diseases, or illnesses, from store bought
you shouldn't feed your pet crickets from outdoors, they need captive bred crickets or else they could become ill from it.

I'll try to find the site i read that on for proof.
well if you have them in like a huge tank you can stick a plastic cup in there and get some or w/ yo hands
good luck !
It is not best to give your lizard crickets you caught outside or whatever. They may have been exposed to pesticides or have parasites that could harm your pet. It is easier and safer to just buy them from the pet store.
crickets are 10 cents for 1 and if you have a petco card 1 penny off!! oh dont go catch them they often have parasites. DONT TRY TO SAVE A PENNY OF CRICKETS BECAUSE IF YOUR LIZARD GETS SICK THAT PENNY SAVING WILL MAKE YOU PAY A TON OF MONEY TO THE VET.
